PU Prime Trading Account Types

Standard Account includes your trading cost in the spread, there is no additional commission. Spreads are slightly wider.

Prime Account offers much tighter spreads, often starting from 0.0 pips, but a fixed commission is charged per trade. This setup gives greater transparency and is preferred by professional traders.

It depends on your trading style:

• Prime Account is best for scalpers, day traders, and algorithmic trading due to lower spreads and higher precision.
• Standard Account is better for beginners or longer-term traders who prefer simplicity without separate commission fees.
